Subjects : Established in 1998, covers an area of ??23 hectares and consists of alluvial soils of the Po River, on which it has developed a thick forest of white willow (Salix alba), where he established a colony of several hundred pairs, exactly 780 nests of night herons (Nycticorax Nycticorax) and egrets (Egretta garzetta). Among the other species should be noted: knight of Italy (Himantopus himantopus), redshank (Tringa totanus) and pantana (Tringa nebularia). Were surveyed than 122 bird species, of which about fifty breeding. Within the protected area there is, however, a site regularly used as a "dormitory" (roosting) by a group of about 50 individuals of Owl (Asio otus). Of some interest, because of their rarity, are the observations of Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) during migration. Among the breeding species are to report the Whitethroat (Sylvia communis), Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus), Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), the Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus) and Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). The presence of pools of water, albeit temporary, is a good opportunity for the reproduction of amphibians, such as the Lataste frog (Rana latastei), endemic to the Po Valley Veneto and, of reptiles, the European pond terrapin ( Emys orbicularis).
